Stain Sponge

After years of research and experiments, Fred Hueston
of Stone Forensics has invented a unique product: the Stain Sponge, which is
now exclusively available from Braxton-Bragg. He has combined the necessary
stone-safe surfactants and diatomaceous earths with the ease of a bag similar
to those used in teabags, and invented the first easy-to-use poultice stain
remover for stone products. By utilizing the stain process reversal technique,
the patented Stain Sponge draws the stain from inside the stone.

The bag is soaked in water and placed on the dampened stain, then covered with
a piece of plastic wrap. A few holes are punched in the wrap to allow for slow
drying of the bag. As the bag dries, the
stain is drawn into the poultice inside the bag. After 12 to 24 hours, the bag
should be dry and is removed. There is no poultice powder to scrape off and
scrub down. If additional treatments are needed (sometimes the case with
serious stains), using a new bag is recommended, according to
Braxton-Bragg.

For additional information on the Stain Sponge or other Braxton-Bragg products,

immediate shipment.

In the December 2016 issue, we look at some highlights of the Marmo+Mac 2016, and the new renovations of the Freemasons' Hall in London, England. We also present some new products, technology updates, machine of the month, and stone of the month.

For this issue, we are excited to share with you four features that focus on using compact and ultrathin slabs in both residential and commercial projects. As these products continue to gain popularity, we wanted to share different ideas of applications, including an upscale dining environment in the interior of a Saks Fifth Avenue.
